The mechanism for inserting, extracting, sensing and locking a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) in an electronic system provides both easier use and a longer service life for the PCBA as compared to a mechanism having two locking handles. Insertion, extraction, sensing and locking are simplified because a single handle can be used rather than two handles. The service life of the associated PCBA is extended because the forces applied to the PCBA are synchronous and applied more evenly than a PCBA having two handles, which reduces bending and other forces that can cause component failure.

1. An apparatus comprising:a face plate to receive a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA); a first jaw pivotably connected to the face plate at a first pivot point; a handle connected to the first jaw, the handle to pivot the first jaw about the first pivot point; a second jaw pivotably connected to the face plate at a second pivot point; and a link connected to the second jaw and to the handle to cause the second jaw to pivot about the second pivot point in response to movement of the handle, the first jaw and the second jaw to interact with first and second railing components, respectively, wherein action of the first and second jaws causes a substantially constant load to be applied to the face plate and to the PCBA.
